To view in large your blog posts images, there is another plugin called Featured Image Zoom to enlarge the pictures.
Just install and active this plugin, no more settings are required. The photo will be magnified with the image viewport and remain constrained to the dimensions of the original image. If there is an image on the page or posts, then it will be displayed on the page whenever you move the cursor over the picture.
On Mobile devices, the image zoom function will also work, but there will be no hover state where you pinch it and zoom the image. In that case, you need to click on the image.

CSS Click to enlarge image in lightbox (For HTML Website)
If you are not a WordPress user and want to add “click to enlarge image” feature on your custom website, then here is the list of 10 Jquery script for click to zoom image.
You can try implement of the all Jquery plugin, but here I have picked the best Touch-friendly Image Zoom Plugin For jQuery – Enlarge.js to show you.
Features of Touch friendly enlarge.js:
- Inline and flyout modes.
- Magnifying glass effect.
- Auto swaps out image sources depending on the screen size.
- Zooms image with mouse hover/click or touch tap/drag.
- Allows setting the magnification level.
How does it work?
Download the Enlarge.js plugin and follow the below instructions-
1. Import jQuery JavaScript library and the jQuery Enlarge.js plugin’s files into the document.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
<link rel="stylesheet" href="src/enlarge.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="src/enlarge.js"></script> <script src="src/enlarge.init.js"></script> |
2. Add your source images to the page following the markup structure like this below. The plugin also allows toggling the image source bigger or smaller. Ideally, this toggles the sizes attribute and enable the browser to select a new source from srcset. if it isn’tsrcset supported or sizes quality is not provided, the link ishref used for the more significant cause.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
<div class="enlarge_pane_contain"> <div class="enlarge_pane"> <div class="enlarge inline-demo"> <div class="enlarge_contain"> <img src="1.jpg" srcset="1.jpg 480w, 1.jpg 1200w, 1.jpg 2000w" sizes="100vw" id="test-img"> </div> <a href="1.jpg" class="enlarge_btn" title="Toggle Zoom">Toggle Zoom</a> </div> </div> </div> |
3. DOM-ready auto-init of plugins. Many plugins bind to an “enhance” event to init themselves on dom ready, or when new markup is inserted into the DOM.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
(function( $ ){ $( function(){ $(".enlarge.inline-demo").data("options", { // options here }); $( document ).bind( "enhance", function(){ $( "body" ).addClass( "enhanced" ); }); $( document ).trigger( "enhance" ); }); }( jQuery )); |
4. All default configuration options.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
$(".enlarge.inline-demo").data("options", { button: true, hoverZoomWithoutClick: true, delay: 300, flyout: { width: 300, height: 300 }, placement: "flyoutloupe", // or inline magnification: 3 }); |
This is how you can add zoom features on a static or HTML website.
